Based on a quick overview of these sources, I think “Protection or Peril?” will be the most valuable. This article consists of presentation and analysis of numerical statistics related to gunshot deaths in the home. Skimming through the article, it seemed more factually-based than many gun control arguments I have seen presented in the past, and also seemed less biased than some other prominent sources (for instance, Shooting Straight is useful only as a presentation of one side of the argument, since it’s author is the president of the NRA).
